I can not thank MasPan enough for his dear help ~3-4 days ago when in one night we slayed 7.5k monsters, and for my cousin for finishing up the final 2k monsters. Other than those two instances of help, I soloed the rest of the 90,500 monsters, because soloing means Time Pieces.

In the beginning, I did not take the challenge seriously (~2-3% a day); I was already handicapped badly when I grinded with gear I've been using since ~level 120ish because I didn't feel like upgrading (lacking a good 10-15+ attack) what I thought was adequate equipment. By the time the challenge was half over I realized how tough it really was. Started playing more to make up for not always gaining 3.3% a day (I was at around 36% instead of ~50%). I came too far to redo the quest, and I had no time to kill so many monsters during the school year.

You had no idea how distressed the final few days (despite uberly grinding I kept getting interrupted by real life) I was when I had to somehow gain 22% in 3 days, not including the day the quest ends (gives more breathing room). That type of grinding would have been impossible for me without seriously burning myself out and hating Maple. Then MasPan came along one night, and with his mighty -4 speed Crimson Arcglaive, we annihilated Oblivion Guardians are a speed I was not even thought existed. Long story short, the 7.5k Oblivion Guardians slayed in those ~3ish hours boosted me up to Only needing ~15k monsters in 3 days. Very doable.

Final 12 hours, my cousin came on when I decided to burn the midnight oil (up until ~4-5 AM in the morning, where supposedly I'd be done), and offered to help on my final 2.5k. Being a 173 BM, the Oblivion Guardians fell like dominoes. The pictures pretty much explains the outcome. Ended quest at ~3 AM instead.

The stats aren't very 'awesome', the only medals worth getting are the Cygnus ones that gives a great boost to HP and stats. These ones are uhh... heh.. But grats anyways.

And now I need to get off my ass and work on mine. I'm at 10k with like 25 days left. I plan on a MASSIVE grind all afternoon and into the early morning to try to get to 25k.

And I believe I said "Demonic" not "Beastly" [/COLOR]

Taliant Wrote:I disagree on that, PQ medal is harder if you always get idiots and/or overleveled.

Still, an honorable feat. Congratulations to you.

IllegallySane Wrote:Quest medal is too easy to get, because there's not even a time limit; just take your time getting 800 quests. Veteran Hunter is for bragging rights.

SlayerZach Wrote:That may be, but some people buy kills, as MasPan stated (he's very annoyed by that). At least Quest Specialist isn't necessarily "buyable" (some items, yes; but a lot of quests involve quest-only items).

Anyways, gratz on that! I'll be working on that sooner or later.
